I'm Thankful for You


by Lynn D

I'm Thankful for You
Thanksgiving is a time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
It is a time for being thankful for the people around you.

It's a time for loving and caring and giving.
You are one of those people who I care about.

You are unique in your own way.
You make me feel good when I'm around you.

So,

On Thanksgiving,

I'm thankful for you.


~Adriana~


When Carol asked me to write the blog for today I had several ideas in mind. Sometimes that is my problem trying focus on one idea, and then I came across this poem and it says it all for me.

I am thankful for each and every one of you! I may not express how I feel daily but each of you is with me in my daily life.

In the last year we have celebrated and mourned together. We have witnessed many owl meetings, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.

We have shored each other up when faced with many of life’s challenges. Whether that was illness or mourning lost loved ones. We have rejoiced in the renewal of new life together too.

We have challenged each other in our religious beliefs and political ideals and have, I think come out stronger for it. We may not always agree but we respect each other enough to agree to disagree.

So I am taking the time to give Thanks to all of you. I may not always offer a comment, because sometimes I don’t have words adequate to express how I feel, but many times I find myself living my daily life and I can almost feel your presence beside me like a ghostly hand slipped into mine, offering comfort or a knowingness that I am with you in spirit if not physically, funny how we have met here in this place and continue to come and laugh, be silly, or share thoughts and ideas. I would say we find comfort in each other.

Some of us come and go for various reasons but I have learned something about myself from each person who has landed in this nest. In many cases it has helped me define who I am and what I believe.

So on this day of Thanksgiving take a moment to ponder the special gathering of people in this nest and wish them well because they are good and wise owls with, wisdom, light, compassion and love. Bless you all.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY LOVELY HOOTERS!

Congrats on 1st scirish.

Great Blog Lynn, and as ususal I echo what you said.

I really am thankful for each and every one of you. I am especially thankful for JODI- who has become a real flesh and blood friend. I only wish I could sit and break bread with many others of you.

I have had some really tough times and some really great times and this blog and everyone here has been there for me.

Mr. Goldie and I are spending the day alone- family is scattered. We are delivering Meals on Wheels today, have a pork roast- did a turkey last week- (sorry MO!) in the slow cooker and we are going to just chill out and enjoy the day, walk Pepper and have wild sex on the kitchen table. JUST KIDDING (maybe)

Many blessings to all of you and I hope you are able to enjoy the day in which ever way you celebrate (or dont).

HUGS and Happiness Hooters!

Mary/MI said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

LynnD, Awh, you choked me up early this morning. I too am thankful for all the friends I have made here in the nest. You are all my special cyber family. I have met some of you and talked on the phone to others. Hopefully someday I will meet more of you. You are all special to me. Have a great day all!!

My bird is in the oven. My pies are done...and my apple crisp is waiting to be devoured (thanks Jodi!).

p.s I am also thankful for spell-check lol!! Now if I get just get someone to proof read...

Mary/MI said...

Goldie!! I love your plans for today esp. the table treat!!

Just_Lin said...

Happy Thanksgiving to all you beautiful Owls.

scirish Congrats on being first at the table today.

LynnD Beautiful blog today. I, too, am very thankful for all the blog adds to my life. I love being able to come here and visit with you all.

MEK LOL! I am imagining everyone with their pants undone.

Goldie Wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving by helping others. As for your private celebration with Mr. Goldie, will you take pics? LOL

I just wanted to pop in real quick before I take off, literally. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Donna Jean said...

OK, now that that is over with, down to the real stuff!

Happy Turkey Day to Everyone!

LYNN~ I read your beautiful blog with tears in my eyes.

Every word rang so very true, you wrote with such love, understanding and compassion.

I was one of many who had a very tough year, and I relied on all my Owl Sisters (& Brother) for strength during those difficult days when Laurie was so very sick. But now, Miss Laurie is looking and feeling much better!

I hope as you all gather with your loved ones, and friends, peace and harmony will be with each of you!

I am so looking forward to this year being over, starting a whole New Year with changes, new attitudes and feelings, and hopefully good health for all.

I better get going, lots to do, and Olive needs some breakfast!

Miss Laurie is sleeping away. Oh, how I wish sometimes I had her gift of innocence and carefree life. She is not aware at all of the stress of living. She just knows that her sisters and I are there for her in times of crisis, and that she will always be cared for.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all had that in our lives?

Have a wonderful day each and every one of you!

Peace and Love to All!

Donna Jean, Laurie Elizabeth,& Olive

RonnieGirl said...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I love your words Lynn, as they are written from your heart and express the feelings that I think we all feel for each other. I am so very thankfull for all of you and the compassion, laughter, and love shown each day. AND of course, let's not forget the great food.

Carol:
Giving you a warm Thanksgiving ((hug)) and a big 'Thank You' for letting me be a part of your nest. I hope your day is an extra special celebration with your family....sausage and all. Ha!

Be back tonight, but doubt if I'll have enough wing-spread to carry my over-stuffed body through the air, so I'll just losen my belt and rollll in later.

Counting my Blessings on this special day,

Ronnie

goldie said...

Mary- Jodi came over last weekend to visit and meet my grandbabies. She brought me a pan of still warm apple crisp. It was to die for!!
Company was all over it like locusts. None left by that night and it was a 9X13 pan full. You will really enjoy it.

J/L- no pics. If it leaked out on the internet I'm sure my children would be traumatized. LOL

Lynn D said...

Popping in Mr. Lynn D and I just had a meeting of the minds. He is going to prep the bird and I have decided instead of stuffing the turkey I will do the stuffing seperate. So we have a little more time this morning before we jump into action!

Everything else is ready to go!

I am so glad you all are enjoying the blog.

MEK one word for you elastic! I am wearing sweats no buttons to undo!

Goldie hmmmm the table really??? Note to self carry anitbacterial wipes if I ever go to the G's house!

Those of you who wanted to exchange addresses please send me yours at myspace. I will reciprocate and then email mine to you. I actually made it on to myspace this morning with no pop up interference!!! Maybe they fixed things.

I have a wonderful little address book with pictures of my M&M relatives on it. That a special owl sent me. It is going to be for blog buddies only.

Ok off to get some other chores done! Eat,drink and laugh today!

PS Mary, Donna and others no tears today! Just lots of warm loving thoughts for all of you! Sending big (((Hugs))) to all!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Congrats on 1st Scirish and a commanding lead over Lynn D!

Great blog Lynn D! I am already emotional today so I will just say thank you to everyone here and have a great turkey day.

You guys all go ahead and enjoy your turkeys, mashed potatoes , vegetables, stuffing and pies. Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner nibbling on a slice of bread with peanut butter waiting for a crumb to fall from someone's plate.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I forgot to say "hi" to everyone so...Hi Scirish, Lynn D, Mek, Birdee, Maureen, Tina, Donna Jean, Goldie, Mary, Just Lin, Ronnie, Tinka, IBB and Vig.

East Bay J said...

GOod morning,

Just stopping in quick to wish everyone a wonderful day!

Lynn your blog is beautiful!

We are about to start chopping and stuffing, I will try to stop by later.

Jodi did you post your recipe for apple crisp? I would love to make it!

From area 51: Shirley, I didn't watch Rosie's show last night.

Hugs to everyone!

DeeDee said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!....well except "you know who"....

I came over to see if anyone had expressed an opinion on Rosie's show last night. I am sad to say I was disappointed but I hope that maybe they can "tweak it" and do it again....or that the network picks it up as a regular show and I know it will get better.....I so wanted it to be phenomenal...


I will celebrate Thanksgiving the traditional way. Inviting all in my neighborhood to my house..have an enormous feast..then kill them and take their land!

goldie said...

Shirley- I am having pork roast today. No turkey- I'll drop some off for you when its done later!

I have re-thought the kitchen table. I'm pretty sure that I would probably put a hip or back out.

iteach said...

I'm thankful for my cooking our Thanksgiving meal.

My only job was to make brownies.

I made the first batch and I forgot to spray the bottom of the pan.

So I made another batch. I forgot to take them out while I was in the shower. They are as hard as bricks.

Hubby is going to store to go buy the third box.

iteach said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I'm very grateful for my owl friends.

iteach said...

Delores, right now I'm feeling good about living in Illinois! :) lol

iteach said...

Hey everyone, don't forget to wear your pants with the big elastic waist band.

Jodi said...

LYNN D - Great blog.....grabbing a tissue....HAPPY TEARS!!! I'll be thinking of you today when I take my slippers to my in-laws!!!

GOLDIE - I'm thankful for the friendship that we've made, too!! I love feeding you and your family!!!

EAST BAY J - I'll email you the recipe!!!

VIG - lol @ tofurkey!!!

ZONA - ((((HUGS)))) to you....I hope the apple crisp is everything you hoped it would be!! Be careful!!

CAROL - Thank you for keeping the nest alive for us!! You are one classy broad....and I mean that from the bottom of my heart!!!

ITEACH - I'm thankful that I got to spend time with you and your hubby last weekend!! You give the best ((((HUGS))))!!!

To the rest of my owl friends....thanks for the support, laughter, and fun in the last year. You're all truly the best!!!

I better get my ass going. Time to eat turkey!!!

Tinkatia said...

Lynn - I just wanted to say what a beautiful blog you wrote. You surely have a way with words.

I am on my way to the dentist and thinking of all my blog buddies who are having turkey today with their families all around them. What a lovely thought.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S Owls and Happy Thursday to our Canadian Owls.

Lynn, Your blog expressed everything I feel also. I am very thankful for all my Owl sisters and brothers (where's Joey anyway?). I love you all.

Carol, I an most thankful that you created this place for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

night.owls.sb said...

Hello to all... and

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving...

I am so thankful, for all of you, it has been a wonderful journey, and I have met some amazing people in this cyber place world..

Lynnd:
When I asked you to write the Thanksgiving blog, I knew it would be terrific, you answered my plea without hesitation, and I appreciated it so. What I like most about your blog, is you made is about us, as if we are sitting next to each other, sharing our Thanksgiving meal. It is certainly my pleasure to share my Thanksgiving with all of you..

Thanks Lynnd, for making the blog today so very special.. You are one amazing owl...

♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

To my Canadian friends..

Thinking of all of you today, and glad you are able to share Thanksgiving with us...

Dianne/Denver said...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and Happy Day to my Canadian friends.

LYNND: I loved your blog today and I say "ditto" on all you said about this blog and owls. You have all been with me through some very scary things this year and I can never tell you how much I appreciate all the support from each and every one of you. I hope that I too, have been able to lend a shoulder back to each of you.

I love this nest. I enjoy "talking" with you all, being lucky enough to meet to blog buddies this year and reading each post every day. You are all a very special group. CAROL: I just want to say again, thank you for making this place for us..you are extra special!

I have been up watching the parade and now making my green beans and will get ready to go to my son and dil's soon. I always wear stretch waist pants so no change for me today! Guess that gives my secret away that I like to eat and breathe all the time! :)

I hope each person has a nice day and special time.

BTW, I did end up watching the Rosie show. I think she needs to not sing and get off the stage more when her guests are performing. I also thought Liza lost a ton of weight. I saw her two years ago and I actually thought she looked better now.

Love to you all .....

sacBarb said...

I've got ole tom in the oven and finally sitting down for a minute. We won't be eating for another 4 hours or so.

Scirish, congrats on widening your lead.

MEK, I echo LynnD, elastic waist clothes. I already have my sweats on.

Goldie, glad to see you are re-thinking the table trick. Wouldn't want either of you to get hurt.

I'm going to take a short nap before everyone gets here. Didn't sleep too well last night.

Waving a wing to all the Owls and hoping you all have a great day.

night.owls.sb said...

Sacbarb:
Lets not forget, without you, we would not have a name for our nest, or perhaps a different one. I happen to like the name you have chosen, I think is fits us to a t...

So, Thank You!

:O)

whabbear said...

Dianne, you and Lynn D said it all! I love the owl's nest, plain and simple, and all who frequent it. Hard to believe we're coming up on a full year, and going strong!

Carol: Happy Thanksgiving! Drink a little toast to yourself today!

night.owls.sb said...

I am staying home today, we are having a traditional Thanksgiving with a Italian flare :O)

My Sister and nephews will be here any minute. The turkey is done and carved, so all we have to do is eat.

My cousin Timmy is in from MN, for the first time in about 5yrs, I am glad he is here, he is actually trying to move here, however since he is blind, we have to find housing for him that he can afford as he lives on his SS, he can certainly stay with my Sister, which he as been doing, but he wants his independence, and rightly so.. We have his name on several lists for housing, but it is surly hard to get him in, we are trying really hard tho...

night.owls.sb said...

Hey Whabby...

Enjoy PSP, and your first Thanksgiving with huz, as husband and husband.. ;O)

night.owls.sb said...

Whabby,
When I have my glass of wine with dinner, I plan on toasting all, as this is really a group effort...

Thank You Whabby! ♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Scirish:
I forgot to congrat you on First...

Soooo, Congrats....

night.owls.sb said...

They are here, I am off...

See ya all later...

Hope all has a great day!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

I forgot!

I did not send out Thanksgiving greetings via ms.. Thanks to all who sent them to me...

I really have to get better at sending comments...

:O)

Bon'O said...

Carol~~Thank you for 'hosting' us year-round, and here ya go...you can 'sign' these MS messages along with me, okay?

Even on the busiest of days, I can't forget that I am...
SO THANKFUL FOR MY CYBER~FRIENDS. I adore every last one of you!!

Caryn said...

Happy Thanksgiving my friends.

Zona said...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

LYNND: Your blog was right on the money. I'm so very thankful for all my friends here in the nest. I've learned a lot..laughed a lot and even shed a tear or two hundred. This is just a wonderful place to roost...and I'm so glad it exists.

Great blog LYNND!!

Be back in a little bit to read the comments..right now my apple crisp timer just binged!!! YAY!!
Thank you JODI!!! :)

Lani said...

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends on the NEST. Thank you LYNN for your beautiful blog. I wish us all 365 days of giving thanks for all we have been given.

whabbear said...

Carol: It WILL be nice to spend Thanksgiving as a married couple for the first time!

And as for enjoying Palm Springs, we both just got up after a long "winter's" nap... and it's 70 degrees! Heading to our friends' Mark and Louie's place for some nice late afternoon tennis and then the big thanksgiving feast (which they're setting up to serve outdoors)

Yes, Palm Springs is fabulous!

Happy Thanksgiving, Caryn and Paul and Bon'O and Lani and SacBarb!

Have a great day, Zona and MEK (is it raining yet?) and 'weenie and Goldie and East Bay and Tina and Hodi and scirish and Lynn D and Dianne and Birdie and DJ and Mary and Ronnie and IBB!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Thanks Goldie for the pork roast and all the fixings. Yummy!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I have been reading comments today that people made about Rosie's show last night. Apparently we weren't watching the same show cause a lot of them loved it.

Tinkatia said...

Thanks for the dinner Lynn. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Tina~in_ut said...

MEK!!!!! $160.00 later!!! you are dust~ :)~

MEK in AZ said...

OMG -

TINA - I am SO sorry (NOT)!!! LOL
I am happy to see that I was able to enable someone else!!

We were first in line and it was TOTAL mayhem - this is why I do NOT and I repeat - DO NOT - do these darn Christmas sales..

it is NOT safe!!!!!!!!!! people running, pushing, shoving!!! CRAP..

but - I got what I needed - they opened up a half hour early since there were TONS of people standing out in the rain....... we were out of there before 6pm......

OH - and our Thanksgiving dinner was successful and I ate just enough to NOT have to unbutton my pants!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

I should clarify..

I was at MEKal's!!!

Tina~in_ut said...

MEK~ Ours didn't open until 6pm....and oh man....all those people pushing and shoving and screaming profanities!!! I hope i didn't hurt or offend anyone~ :D

iteach said...

Anyone getting up early tomorrow morning?

I am 5:00 a.m. with my mom and sister.

Peace be with me

MEK in AZ said...

Iteach - Peace be with you!!

I just survived MEKal's - there is NO way I will be anywhere tomorrow am...

all my shopping is DONE and I don't have to go near a mall anytime soon!!!

i'll say a prayer for you!!

MEK in AZ said...

Tina - i just saw your myspace status and literally LMAO!!!

i am SO happy to have enabled you!!

Wonder if SacBarb felt the urge to run to MEKal's tonight!!???

Tina~in_ut said...

Status: Tina~in_ut 's husband is going to smack MEK upside the head!!!~ 46 minutes ago.

Here's my status!!!!!

Mek~ do you think my hubby will really kill me?

DeeDee~ You have plenty of property....leave the neighbors alone~ :)~

Lynn D said...

Evening All!

The Grandkids have left and I am exhausted!

Ok Shame on MEKals being open on Thanksgiving!

Tina hope hubby does not kill you! Are you going to wrap all of that stuff so you can open it xmas morning?

Iteach I did the early sales one year and that was enough for me!!! Utter chaos and mayhem! Never again and it was so early in the morning I could not even justify a drink. Now I say if I am supposed to have it whatever it is, It will be there.

I have also had to work quite a few of those day after Thanksgiving sales! That may explain why I am the way I am. I still get a nervous eye tic thinking about it!

Delores as long as you are in a neighbor killing mood please make a swing by my neighborhood and take out the moron across the street! He is building a huge shop and did he quit because it was Thanksgiving? NO we listened to that racket all day!

Shirley I watched part of Rosie's new show and well, it was not up to my expectations! Seemed so forced. I fell asleep.

sacBarb said...

Tina & MEK, I did NOT go to MEKals today. I didn't even know they were open...thank goodness.

I hope everyone had a good day. My day was excellent and everyone left so I can watch Dr. McDreamy in peace. All is good with the world...well, my world anyway.

sacBarb said...

Shirley, I was disappointed in Rosie's show, but I think with a little tweaking (like better writing, LL) it could be good.

night.owls.sb said...

Whew... Its over....And I did not have to unzip, as I wore expandable sweats. I had not idea how much
expandable sweats can expand, they were about 2feet ahead of me...

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

We had a good time, and laughed quite a bit,the kind of laugh, that you almost pee your pants, but you don't, cause you are adult enough to hold it in, but here's the thing, I could not control the tears, the laughing kind, they just streamed down my face.. However I would rather have tears on my face, then pee in my pants...

So all is good...

And, Vincent, cracks me up everytime.. :O)

LOL....

night.owls.sb said...

It seems Mekal's is quite a busy place... All those crazy Tina ladies pushing and shoving...Whew... Glad I did not go...

night.owls.sb said...

Mek:
Did you get that circut (sp) thingy?

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach:
I will say a prayer for you as I sleep.. Peace be with you is right!

Enjoy your shopping day!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek:
"We" did you drag poor Mr Mek with you? Or were you really with Tina..

:O)

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - Mr. MEK went willingly!! He loves spending time with me!!
:-)

and yes, i got the cricut thingys that I went for!!

MEK in AZ said...

SacBarb - sorry you didn't get the heads up!! - but think of the money you saved!!

MEK in AZ said...

I really don't think the staff at MEKal's would have appreciated me showing up with my pants undone!!

Bebbilane said...

Congrats on first scirish!

LynnD, GREAT BLOG! I am sorry I got on here so late. I had a super busy day (myspace pics are up!). It was filled with so much laughter and fun.I thought of everyone today. Your words put it very well, and I am so thankful for my friends in the Nest! I have enjoyed being here so much!!

Well, I haven't been mentioning my steps lately, but I have been still out there walking every day. In addition to a lot of other stuff, today I walked 10,992 steps! Phew! ..That's not easy to do after stuffing oneself with turkey & the fixins!

Thanks to all of my owl friends for being here and being who you are. You are one special group of people.

Now, off to read the comments.

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - did you "flip" with Vincent tonight??!!

Goldie - did you take video of your "table dance"??!!

Mo: Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

Goldie: Sounds like you had a nice day. I hope the wild sex on the kitchen table was not at one of the Meals on Wheels recipient's table..hehe. :0

Ronnie: I will join you in the loosening the belt and rolling into the nest tonight..lol!

Carol: I hope your cousin finds housing! I hope your Thanksgiving was great. Sorry about the double posts of comments on myspace. I got carried away and didn't realize I had already replied. Oh well, I said more of what I felt the second time. :) ON another note, glad you had lots of laughter in your day. We had a lot of laughter here too. I laughed so hard I had tears as well!! It was really REALLY fun. Mr. Bebbi had me laughing so hard today. He was kicked out of the kitchen several times but he kept a good attitude about it.

Shirley!!! I have tons of stuff left over and you are welcome to a big plate anytime! No waiting around for crumbs over here!!
Check out myspace and you can see all the stuff we had. :) My award winning home made yeast rolls too (I am such a lover of good bread, my absolute weakness!).

Lynn D: Nice layout of food! MMMmmMMMMmMMmmm..eeps..already had too much today..lol.

Good morning- no it was not on the table at a Meals on Wheels home and no there was no video! LOL
Actually there was no table involved at all- decided we were too old and my kitchen table table is an antique!!
